Both The Rock and Armageddon have Criterion spine numbers. Film restoration funding has to come from somewhere.
Still not a perplexing as Jellyfish Eyes.

Not to mention releasing every Wes Anderson movie. I like the guy but there's no way he has that many films that deserve to be in the collection, but as you said, it's what funds their more esoteric work, no complaints.

All boxsets: Fellini, Wong Kar Wai, Agnes Varda, and Bruce Lee.

and those other three boxes are A+ anyway

I'm assuming the Varda box will just be an upgrade of the "4" set. I think the WKW box is his entire body of work.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 01:15 (four years ago) link
I think the Varda set will be bigger than just upgrading the old box. Her estate controls most if not all of her films, and I believe they are working with Janus on a touring retrospective, so there's a lot in play.

has anyone watched Chinese Roulette on the Criterion Channel? I don't have it. How does it look? old Pathfinder (?) DVD looks iffy. they've put out something by Fassbinder every year for the past decade or so, haven't they?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:58 (four years ago) link
what's the likelihood the WKW set is all 9 features? I'd plonk down for that fer sure.

― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:35 (four years ago) link
I'm shocked they hadn't put it out yet tbh. I never saw it, never appealed to me, kinda seems of a piece with Wes Anderson (Budapest Hotel finally gets a disc release after 5 years?)

Anderson had to sign off on GBH, and obviously was delayed making two movies.
MAYAEWK too has been in the pipeline for a long time. Vintage IFC title, IIRC.
― a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:10 (four years ago) link
I haven't screened MAYAEWK in like 10 years, but upon that viewing I realized if you toned down a lot of it, the film isn't that far removed from a Drew Barrymore Romcom.

I haven't seen Me and You and... but ... maybe this makes me a shit worthless toxic male but, The Future was maybe among the 3 or 4 worst movies I've seen in my entire life.
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:38 (four years ago) link
Me and You... sucks. Hard. It made me angry.I was finally coaxed past my distaste and watched The Future. Much better July.

LOL, xpost (got distracted mid-post)If you thought The Future was that bad I want you to liveblog your reaction to watching Me and You when/if that happens.

xposted from another Criterion thread -- Target.com is doing a Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale on video games, movies and books through Saturday. Comes out a good bit cheaper than the B&N half price sale if you work it right. (Their price for single Criterion blu-rays is $23)

Perhaps there's a chance of Okja as well, given Criterion's licencing of 5 other Netflix studios titles.
